It doesn't work that way with broken ribs. It's getting oxygen that is the problem. I've broken two ribs before. You get fatigued walking down the street or carrying a bag because you can't breath deep and normally. Ask someone like that to sprint 40 yards down field and he won't make it back to the line of scrimmage.

You can try to protect the bone but Nelson won't be anything like normal.
